Annotation: The article discusses the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into project-based foreign language learning exemplified in students of non-linguistic faculties. In the context of digitalization and globalization, project-based learning is seen as a key method to overcome low student motivation being a hands-on approach, according to which a foreign language functions as a tool for solving real-life professional tasks. Based on theo- retical analysis and empirical research, it has been proven that AI technologies act as a catalyst and infrastructure solution that optimizes each stage of the project: from idea generation and scenario personalization to research facilitation, language support, and assessment criteria development. The article presents guidelines for teaching a foreign language to students pursuing a bachelor`s degree in Management (38.03.02) based on this approach, including a step-by-step algorithm of actions for teachers and students. Specific interactive methods and digital tools are proposed for each stage. Particular attention is paid to the system of comprehensive project assessment with an emphasis on linguistic and professional competencies. The authors conclude that the conscious use of AI transforms the ecosystem of project activities, increasing its efficiency and personalization. At the same time, the role of the teacher evolves from a controller to a tutor of the process and an expert in the integration of digital tools. The successful implementation of AI-supported project-based learning contributes to the development of undergraduates` competitive skills and their readiness for professional challenges.
